turned off the haveged daemon

I got tired of watching the haveged entropy daemon pop up in top every time the computer got busy. haveged consumed a few seconds of CPU time over the course of normal computer usage. So, I turned it off:

Code:chmod gou-x /etc/rc.d/rc.havegedNo more CPU cycles are being wasted. The downside is that reading from /dev/random is now extremely slow (about 0.5 bytes/second with no user interaction). That is okay since the programs that I care about read /dev/urandom.
